'''Adamantite ore''' is obtained through the [[Mining]] skill in various places throughout ''RuneScape'' by mining [[Adamantite rock]]s. It can be smelted along with six [[coal]] through the [[Smithing]] skill to form an [[Adamant bar]], which can then be smithed into various types of [[adamant]] [[weapons]] and [[armour]].

Adamantite ore can be mined with a Mining level of 70 or higher, granting 95 Mining [[experience]].

The [[Bandit camp mining site|Hobgoblin Mine]] contains the most [[free play|free-to-play]] adamantite rocks, but it is far from a bank, filled with aggressive [[Hobgoblin]]s, and dangerous since it is in the [[Wilderness]]. Hobgoblins will not keep you from mining, but you will still undergo attack from them. [[Player killer]]s make this even harder as they can attack players who are unprepared. Using a [[canoe]] will make accessing this mine much quicker. Even more so for members with a [[Lava Titan]] familiar.

The [[Dwarven Mine resource dungeon|Mining guild resource dungeon]], combined with the adamantite rocks in the dwarven mines, make seven rocks that are fairly close together. Utilising the bank deposit box in the dwarven mines resource dungeon makes banking of the collected ores quick. This method requires a [[Dungeoneering]] level of 45.

The next best way for free players to mine adamantite ore would be to go to one of the other mines and switch worlds after mining the rocks.

The lowest level of the [[Abandoned Mine]] has 13 adamant ore veins, but requires retracing the steps of the [[Haunted Mine]] quest to get the glowing fungus. The fungus can be safely dropped while mining to free an inventory slot. The Jatizso members mine is also a good place to mine as there are 11 rocks, however there are [[ice troll]]s to worry about, they are decently high levels and the males can hit approximately 170 if you are not wearing yak-hide armour, and the females can throw rocks over the rocks you are mining.

The [[Isafdar]] mine is only a decent Adamant mining spot once you have completed [[Roving Elves]] and started [[Mourning's Ends Part I]] since you will be able to bank at Lletya which is a short run away. The mine is small, only containing the 7 Adamant rocks and is completely unguarded except for a trap at the entrance.

The [[Keldagrim north mine]] is a good members place for adamantite ore. It has 10 adamantite rocks and is relatively close to a bank just to the southwest. Completion of the [[Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf]] quest is required to access this mine.

==Respawn rate==
Adamantite ore, like all other mined rocks, [[Spawning|respawns]] at a rate directly proportional to the number of people in the rock's ''RuneScape'' [[server|world]]. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 8 minutes; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 4 minutes. Thus the respawn rate of adamantite ore is
:<math>8-\frac{x}{500}</math> minutes,
where ''x'' is the number of players in the world.

A table of respawn rates is given below.

==Trivia==
*Adamantite is most likely derived from the word Adamant, which is defined as, "any impenetrably or unyieldingly hard substance".
*Adamant and similar words are used to refer to any especially hard substance, whether composed of diamond, some other gemstone, or some type of metal. Both ''adamant'' and ''diamond'' derive from the Greek word αδαμας (''adamas''), meaning "untameable". ''Adamantite'' and ''adamantium'' are also common variants.
*Adamantite has, throughout ancient history, referred to anything that was made of a very hard material. Virgil describes Tartarus as having a screeching gate protected by columns of solid adamantine.
*Adamantite may be based on Adamantium, a metal from the Marvel comics, the metal covered the Marvel Hero Wolverine's originally bone-claws and skeleton.
